Bill overview
This bill would allow Michigan’s Medicaid program, known as the Medical Assistance Program, to cover services provided by syringe service programs. Syringe service programs offer resources like clean needles and supplies to people who inject drugs, as well as safe disposal methods for used needles. The goal is to reduce the spread of infectious diseases and promote safer practices within the community. This legislation amends existing state law to specifically include these programs under Medicaid coverage.
